Legal rights in healthcare

Legal rights in healthcare are the protections and entitlements patients have to ensure they receive respectful, safe, and appropriate care. These rights include the ability to make informed decisions about treatments, access your medical records, and refuse treatment. Healthcare providers are legally obligated to respect your privacy and confidentiality. If your rights are violated, you can seek legal recourse or file complaints. These rights help ensure you are treated fairly and ethically within the healthcare system, maintaining your autonomy and dignity as a patient.
